Bad things happen to good people

When you plan on treating yourself to a chocolate peanut butter spinach smoothie (a recipe for another day) after a long night of cleaning up the kitchen and dining area, you just about want to punch a hole in the wall when your already-painful-to-use blender begins to smell and smoke from its base and- yes, you predicted correctly- dies.

curse you, cuisanart!

Needless to say, out with the bad and in with the (kind of) good:

Nothing cures hunger and pain like a bowl of sugar cereal 

Now who's gonna buy me that Vitamix?

HA.
